Hi everyone!
Here’s a reflex drill at the net, specially designed for 4 players. This version lets 4 players train continuously with a smooth rotation to develop quick reactions on fast balls.
The goal of this drill is to improve reactivity and accuracy on fast volleys thanks to a continuous rotation system using a ball machine and progressive targets.
How to run the drill:
For this exercise, use a ball machine placed in the centre at the back of the court and set up 5 cones in strategic areas to act as targets.
On the other side of the court, 4 players A, B, C and D line up in single file.
- The first player (A) comes up to about 2 m from the net.
- The machine sends 5 fast balls.
- A volleys each ball toward a different target zone.
- After the 5th ball, A goes to the back of the line and B immediately moves up to the net.
- The machine restarts without any delay to keep the drill intense.
Focus on accuracy by trying to hit as many targets as possible.
